Bush hails Dalai Lama's work
October 18, 2007
President George W Bush, who became the first sitting US President to meet the Dalai Lama in public, said, "It (Congress) has conferred this honour on a figure whose work continues, and whose outcome remains uncertain. In doing so America raises its voice in the call for religious liberty and basic human rights."
Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said, "With this gold medal, we affirm the special relationship between His Holiness the Dalai Lama and the United States."
